I heard this one the other day and quite liked it. What is it short for other than Elizabeth? I read somewhere it can be short for Gwendolyn.

Also do you know any called Queenie, as in that's their real name?

Famous literary critic Queenie Leavis. Don't think it was short for anything

Also my great aunts name! She was christened Queen and called Queenie.
She was an ace person & brought my mum up.
I chose it for dd3s middle name.
Considering my sister had two girls and I had another two it wasn't until the 5th girl that one of us used the name..
I love it as I loved my auntie so much but I wouldn't use as a first name.
Btw Dd3 is Matilda Queenie & I think it's a pretty cool name
